Wireless Sensors Networks Security - 1991 Words

1. Introduction Developments in micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) and wireless networks are opening a new domain in networking history. Sensors; often called smart dust are low cost small tiny devices with limited coverage, low power, smaller memory sizes and low bandwidth, will play a key role in collecting and disseminating data from the fields where ordinary networks are unreachable for various environmental and strategical reasons. There have been significant contributions to overcome many weaknesses in sensor networks like coverage problems, lack in power and making best use of limited network bandwidth, however; work in sensor network security is still in its infancy stage. This paper is an effort to introduce the†¦show more content†¦Kristofer Pister, another researcher in sensors at Berkeley is aiming to produce motes even smaller, one cubic millimetre, where they can be deployed in biometric applications [12]. 2.2 Applications Densely deployment nature of sensor nodes allows the sensor networks to keep functioning even if some of the nodes are destroyed or compromised. Therefore, there is a vast application of sensor networks especially in disastrous situations. Some of the examples of sensor network applications are: Military Applications: The origin of wireless sensor networks is from defence research, therefore there are vast applications in military where sensor nodes can be deployed in warfield surveillance to detect, locate and monitor enemy activities. Environmental Applications: Sensor networks are already being used in ocean and wildlife monitoring; further applications could be tracking the livestock and monitoring the growth in plants, early detection of bush fires and identification of tornado motions to prevent from serious disasters. Domestic Applications: Sensor networks can bring the idea of smart homes where we can monitor and control at site or remotely home appliances like air conditioning, heating, ventilation, refrigeration, security alarms etc. Medical Applications: Health and hospital applications are integrating sensor networks to monitor the disable patients, diagnostics and drug administrations, locating the doctors andShow MoreRelatedSecurity Issues Of Wireless Sensor Networks1286 Words   |  6 PagesSecurity issues in Wireless Sensor Networks What the security issues are related to Wireless Sensor Networks Name:Sandeep Kumar Pulijala Student ID:S0261345 Teacher:Erin Class:DEA3 Central Queensland University What the security issues are related to Wireless Sensor Networks Wireless sensor networks are very important in everyday life.

The premise of the wireless network is to alert and set off all of the smoke detectors in the network if one smoke detector is set off. With our current progress we have enough equipment for two smoke detectors. The hardware modules include the PIC microcontroller (arduino)Read MoreWireless Sensor Networks ( Wsn ) Is A Key Innovation For The Wireless Network Technology1483 Words   |  6 PagesAbstract—Wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a key innovation for the wireless network technology. It generally has a large number of sensor nodes with a power unit, a sensing unit, a processing unit, a storage unit, and a wireless transmitter receiver. They are more vulnerable to attack then wired ones due to its nature and resources limitations. So as to overcome this security problems we can different types of Key Distribution and Hierarchical WSN.

It can be either embedded inside the body or can be surface mounted on fixed position wearable technology. One can carry theses such devices along with them like in bags, in pockets, ByRead MoreWireless Sensor Networks Are Used For Detecting The Natural Events By Measuring The Temperature, Air Pressure, Vibration1001 Words   |  5 Pagesglobal warming. Wireless sensor networks are used for detecting the natural events by measuring the temperature, air pressure, vibration, etc. and generate alarms. WSNs can measure the agitation of buildings, CO2 levels, and weather monitoring, etc. (Yawut Kilaso, 2011). WSN that utilized Zigbee/IEEE802.15.4 is utilized as a weather monitoring network. It sends the information about the weather and generates hazard alarms. Decision tree techniques are used for analysing the data at sensor site.
